Rock Keeps On Growing
Bv I AHrv TVtfair
It was weiid.
An oblong, cream-colored smooth rock covered with water bulged against
the sides of a cut-off gallon milk carton, while county farm agent Wendell
Young and Delton Monroe, the rock's owner, looked through a geology
book in the library.
Monroe stopped looking over Young's shoulder long enough to stoop
down and pick up a small, pipe-shaped ceramic vase.
"We used to keep it in this," he said, pointing to the bowl of the pipe,
"Until it started growing. It looked like an egg."
Monroe of Rt. 3, Red Springs, said the stone had come from somewhere
in the mountains. About two years ago, an old man in Pembroke had told
him to put the rock in water and it would grow.
Since then, Monroe said, the rock has increased about four times in size.
"We have to put more water on it every week," he said. "It soaks it up
like a sponge."
The library search didn't answer any questions about the rock. Monroe
said maybe he'd take it to Raleigh to find out what kind it is. In the
meantime, he said, he's going to find a larger container to put it in because it
has outgrown the milk carton.
